Introduction

Overview
Dynamics Mobile is built around the idea that the developers and organizations will benefit if they can develop, run, support and use business solutions over public clouds without actually knowing the public cloud implementation internals as well as the internals of the rest of the infrastructure components like mobile operating systems and complex backend systems like ERPs.
This idea evolves to the concept of the Dynamics Mobile Platform, which implements a rich runtime layer on the top of the public clouds. This runtime layer may be deployed and run on top of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and other public clouds and host the various building blocks of any serverless business solution, which are called "applications". 
Solutions and Applications
The Dynamics Mobile Platform relies on the concept of applications, where each application is a packaged set of functionalities meant to work on a mobile device or in the web browser. The mobile and backend applications hosted over the Dynamics Mobile platform can communicate between them, reuse and share data, providing unified and integrated experiences to the users and "forming" Serverless Business Solutions.
Applications on top the Dynamics Mobile platform are developed with the Dynamics Mobile SDK, which allows development of 2 types of applications:
Mobile applications
Cross-platform hybrid mobile apps executed on a mobile device capable to run on iOS, Android and Windows 10 and provide rich UI experience to the mobile user bundled with offline and online capabilities.

Backend applications
Web application accessible from a web browser providing rich UI experience and utilizing the serverless capabilities of the public cloud - e.g. no single server machine but rather different types of scalable public cloud services like storage, databases, queues and others.
Both of the application types uses mostly the same classes, types and development approaches, which accelerates the development of integrated business solutions capable to run over different public clouds and different mobile operating systems.
The best of it?
The developer and the organization does not need spend hundreds to thousand of hours to learn about every mobile operating system , every public cloud and every ERP . What they need to do is to use Dynamics Mobile Platform and Dynamics Mobile SDK to quickly build business cross-platform mobile and backend apps.
